Through two games, the speedster has collected 182 yards and two touchdowns, but fantasy managers […]

Lamar Jackson Misses Practice Due To Illness

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) missed practice Thursday due to a stomach bug. Speculation circled that his missed practice was due to a hip injury that he suffered during his touchdown flip into the end zone against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it turns out that it was a non-COVID-19 illness. Jackson will "be […]

Dalvin Cook Quickly Returns To Action

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook entered the injury tent but quickly returned against the Arizona Cardinals. At the time that Cook had entered the tent, the Vikings were winning 20-14 and Cook had a lot to do with that. In just the first half, he had already amassed 103 yards from scrimmage on 13 […]

Tyrod Taylor Won't Play Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury against the Cleveland Browns. The veteran signal-caller will undergo an MRI tomorrow but has already been ruled out for the Texans' Thursday night matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Taylor played well in his first two games of the season, so this injury is extremely disappointing […]

Trey Sermon Dealing With Head Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Trey Sermon is dealing with a head injury suffered in his game against the Philadelphia Eagles. After being a healthy scratch Week 1, Sermon was active for Week 2 but failed to get much playing time until running back Elijah Mitchell temporarily left the game. Then, on his first carry […]

Andy Dalton Believed To Have Avoided ACL Injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) missed a lot of time in his game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but is believed to have not suffered an ACL injury. Quarterback Justin Fields replaced Dalton following his injury and led the Bears to a win, but was certainly not flawless. If Dalton misses time, as long as Fields […]

Brandon Graham Feared To Have Torn Achilles

Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Brandon Graham is feared to have torn his Achilles against the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles defense has looked really good in their first two weeks of the young NFL season, but Graham missing the rest of the season hurts. Though the 33-year-old is still an elite player, this injury could […]

CeeDee Lamb Struggles With Drops

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb said that his drops on Thursday night were because he was "in [his] own head." Lamb clearly has the skills needed to become an undisputed top wide receiver, but he needs to fix his hands issue first. The star's hands sometimes flash as among the best in the league, […]

Ty'Son Williams To Be Used In Committee

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that running back Ty'Son Williams will be used in a committee. In their Monday night loss against the Las Vegas Raiders, Williams started the game and was the primary running back for most of the first half. In the second half, however, fellow running back Latavius Murray saw […]

Jonnu Smith Limited In Practice By Hip

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday.

The Patriots tight end duo of Smith and Hunter Henry with a rookie quarterback and a slow-paced offense […]

Jamaal Williams Limited By Injury In Practice

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (chest) was limited in practice. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, and fantasy managers can rely on Williams to be healthy come his Monday night matchup with the Green Bay Packers. In Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers, Williams surprised fantasy managers with upwards of 20 points […]

D'Andre Swift Limited With Injury In Practice

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) was limited in practice once again despite having dominated in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. Leading into his 2021 debut, Swift battled a groin injury but managed to accumulate 104 yards on 19 touches with a whopping 11 targets, showing few signs of hindrance. Heading into […]

T.J. Hockenson Ammasses 97 Yards

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught eight passes for 97 yards and one touchdown versus the San Francisco 49ers. The Lions No. 1 receiver on their depth chart is Tyrell Williams, and their depth isn't much prettier, so Hockenson is in for massive target numbers all year. The former No. 8 overall pick is […]

Jamaal Williams Finishes With 110 Yards

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams started over D'Andre Swift and finished with 110 yards and one touchdown on 17 touches versus the San Francisco 49ers. Swift dealt with a groin injury throughout the preseason, so this isn't too surprising. However, Williams played consistently alongside Swift throughout the game. Both running backs had significant roles […]

Mekhi Becton Believed To Have Sprained MCL

New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) was carted off and appeared to be in a lot of pain in a game versus the Carolina Panthers. Given the circumstances, a sprained MCL warrants a huge sigh of relief for the Jets. The sophomore dominated in his rookie season and projects to be a huge […]

Kirk Cousins Compiles Stats In Comeback Attempt

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 36 of 49 passes for 351 yards and two touchdowns versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Entering the season, the narrative that the Vikings would try to relentlessly run the ball persisted, slightly devaluing their passing-game assets in drafts. In Week 1, Minnesota found themselves in need of a comeback and […]

Adam Thielen Scores Two Red-Zone Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen scored two red-zone touchdowns with nine catches for 92 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran wideout's younger counterpart Justin Jefferson dazzled as well, but this was Thielen's game. The 31-year-old was productive last season as well with 14 touchdowns, but with Jefferson's emergence, it seemed like there could […]

Saquon Barkley Limited In Practice On Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was limited in practice once again on Thursday. Going into their drafts, fantasy managers knew that Barkley could have to ramp up his workload as the season progresses, hence the ADP discount at No. 11 overall. It appears that Barkley will be limited in his matchup versus […]

Devonta Freeman Signs With Ravens Practice Squad

Free-agent running back Devonta Freeman signed with the Baltimore Ravens practice squad on Thursday in lieu of running back Gus Edwards (knee) most likely tearing his ACL. Freeman has lingered around the league for a few years now without producing much. Since 2018, Freeman has played in 21 games and rushed for only 896 yards and […]

Joe Mixon Named Training Camp MVP

Bengals running back Joe Mixon was named training camp MVP on Thursday. If everything goes right, Mixon could find himself on an electric offense with an adequate offensive line, neither of which are statements he could've boasted in years past. It's no secret that the running back is a physically talented player, but his poor […]

D’Andre Swift To Have No Workload Limit

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is reported to have no workload limit heading into his matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Managers should consider themselves […]

Zach Ertz Wants To “Retire” With The Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz spoke to the public for the first time this season and claimed he wants to stay in Philadelphia. Dating back to the 2020 NFL season and continuing through the off-season, it seemed certain that Ertz wouldn't be on the Eagles roster come 2021, yet he still remains in the […]

Justin Fields Not Being Rushed

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is "not being rushed" according to general manager Ryan Pace. It appears that the rookie won't start the season, but assuming that quarterback Andy Dalton doesn't set the league on fire, Fields could quickly assume the starting gig. It remains unseen how the first-round pick's skills will translate to the […]

Trey Lance Trending In The Right Direction

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance (finger) is "trending in the right direction" according to general manager John Lynch. As the preseason concluded, it became increasingly apparent that the rookie wouldn't start Week 1, so this injury was never too concerning for fantasy managers. Still, the No. 3 overall pick holds immense upside once he […]

Mike Williams Participates In Individual Drills

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams resumed individual drills on Wednesday. The lanky wideout was the No. 6 overall pick in just 2017 and has shown flashes of greatness in his NFL career. Unfortunately, injuries have gotten in the way of the former top prospect. Furthermore, the Clemson standout has achieved a 1,000-yard season […]

Jamison Crowder Day To Day With Groin Injury

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) missed practice and is now "day to day" according to head coach Robert Saleh. In a crowded receiver room, the slot weapon didn't project to have a massive role in the remodeled Jets offense anyways. The former Washington wideout seems to have fallen out of favor for […]

A.J. Rose Jr. Continues To Fight For Roster Spot

Minnesota Vikings running back A.J. Rose Jr. had six carries for 41 yards and two touchdowns versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Regardless of how well he performed in the preseason, there is virtually no chance the rookie will supplant Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison on the depth chart. However, he's made a compelling case to […]

Davis Mills Throws Three Picks

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills went 10-for-27 for 106 yards and two touchdowns to go along with three interceptions during the preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Presuming Deshaun Watson is absent this year, it appears that Mills could get some playing time at some point to give the Texans a chance to assess […]

Ronald Jones II Collects 27 Yards On Four Carries

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had four rush attempts for 27 yards against the Houston Texans. Jones is in a battle with Leonard Fournette for the starting gig, and regardless of who wins, they'll surely still split carries. Fournette seemed to assume the starting role in the Playoffs, but Jones was deservingly […]

Quarterback Draft Rankings and Analysis

Starting several years ago, the late-round QB strategy quickly caught on, becoming a staple of most fantasy managers’ drafts. In 2021, though late-round QB is still viable, fantasy managers may want to start looking in a different direction. With a plethora of young, mobile quarterbacks joining the reliable veterans, quarterback projects to be exceptionally top-heavy […]
